The Peruvian Cortarama was forgotten for
more than a century and was only known
from a small forest near Chiclayo, in
northern Peru.
As is known, in this area of the country
there are several oil centers and it is
precisely thanks to the prohibition of the
entry of the inhabitants.

 Pava aliblanca hábitat
This species is found in the dry forests of
the north of our country, lives on slopes
and elevations from 300 to 1300 meters
above sea level, previously it also
occupied carob groves at sea level. Now,
you can find them protected in the ACP
(Private Conservation Area) Chaparrí, a
space of more than 34 thousand hectares
that dedicates its efforts to conserving
not only the White-winged Guan, but
also other 230 species, including the Bear
of Spectacled species that only inhabits
South America.
Características
The White-winged Guan is a slender bird that
has black plumage throughout almost the entire
body with only 8 to 9 white feathers at the ends
of the wings, a characteristic that gives rise to
its name. A particular specificity of this species
is that males and females can be differentiated
not by their physical appearance, but by their
behavior, the males being more protective of
their territory and the females more calm and
withdrawn. This species is also an early riser
and very territorial: it wakes up at 5:30 a.m. to
start his routine with a thunderous cry with
which he demarcates his territory.
Amenazas
They are threatened by different factors,
among them, the destruction of the
forest: the felling of hualtacos and carob
trees ends up displacing them from their
natural habitat. Previously,
indiscriminate hunting almost brought
them to the brink of extinction,
however, since it was discovered again,
the Congress of the Republic of Peru
enacted Law No. 28049 where "the
reproduction and conservation of the
Guan is declared of national interest.
White-winged and its hunting,
extraction, transport and/or export for
commercial purposes is prohibited”.
